maat_lamb,
Welcome to the iMovie forum.
if theres a way i can get it to run long enough to transfer the contents onto my macbook, what kind of firewires/device/etc would i need to do that?
You'll need audio/video cables to connect the HI8 to the DV cam (use a S-video cable if possible). Then you'll need a firewire cable having 4 pin on one end that connects to the DV cam and 6 pin on the other end that connects to the computer.
Well you gotta have a playback device so if you're gonna do it yourself and you present cam won't cooperate;
1.) Borrow a friends HI8, This would be the cheapest way(they're probably not using it anyway these days).
2.) Get it repaired or buy a new HI8 camera. As cheap as HI8 cams are now it may be cheaper to get a new one.
3.) You can always find a 'Service' that will do the transfer $$$$$$$$$.
Here's a similar thread where a member wants to transfer old VHS tapes to edit in iMovie. His problem was he didn't have a playback device. Same principal just substitute HI8 for VHS when reading.
